SkylineRecords:The Last Waltz IS the greatest concert film of all time. Queen's "Live at Wembley" is OKAY, but suffers on the fact that Freddie couldn't sing like he did in the studio. "Bohemian Rhapsody" is amazing on that one though.

Watch Queen in Montreal and tell me freddie couldn't sing like the records

Opeth - Lamentations, actually you could pretty much put all their Live DVDs on here but Lamentations is a little more special since it's the only one with Martin Lopez. I have a soft spot for Closure.

Metallica's Live shiat Binge and Purge is a very fun concert to watch as well.

The Last Waltz sucked. It wasn't even The Band's best live recordings. All it was, was a Bunch of stoned performers going through the motions for a shiatty film that is now constantly fellated by hipsters because Scorsese directed it.

The Last Waltz is horrificially overrated. there are some great sequences in it, but....neil diamond? van morrison in his "10lbs of shiat in a 5lb bag" sequined suit (and don't forget his hilariously cheesy kicks and fist pumps during "Caravan"?

and i know the apocryphal story of Levon, after the screening, supposedly quipping, "well, it coulda used more Robbie", but.....he's charismatic, engaging, funny, and tells the best stories, and by far the most photogenic. why wouldn't he get the most facetime? Levon is kinda old man grumpy, danko is at times clearly somehwere else, garth comes off as really creepy and weird, and manuel is even more far gone than danko.

Good but overrated.

List fails without:

Depeche Mode 101. I'm not a huge DM fan, but some of the live sequences are just amazing. Gahan has 100,000 people in the palm of his hand at the Rose Bowl. Freedie Mercuryesque charisma and perfformance. also, worth noting how while the "reality" genre had been bumping around since the 1960s, this is the first "modern" reality event i'm aware of; they put about a dozen DM fans in a bus, and filmed them interacting over the tour. MTV's "The Real World" didn't come out until 2-3 years later and that is often acknowledged as the start of reality tv but DM 101 predates all that.Wilco:I Am Trying To Break Your heart. Phenomenal film. watching the band disintegrate and the artistic process in general is amazing.

Clash: Westway To the World. A bit hard to find but amazing. watching Joe talk about how he farked it up is heartbreaking. he's talking about how firing Mick was dumb. the heartbreak on his face and his voice is palpable. And also when Topper admits that even if he had the chance to do it differently, he wouldn't. he says something like, "i know drugs farked it up for me but......i would make those mistakes again, because......that's the kind of person i am." bizarre and sad but astonishing.

They were young, Hagar was a new edition (so you probably hate it) and most importantly, this is probably the only entire concert where Eddie was sober - long sober; his guitar solo was awe inspiring back then.

The Last Waltz as a concert is pretty overrated. Except for a few songs ("caravan", "helpless" - could do without Joni background singing tho - , Dylan medley).The Last Waltz as a concert DOCUMENTARY is pretty outstanding. Interviews and whatnot. Disintegration of a band, etc.

If the list was just recorded concerts, DIRE STRAITS: ALCHEMY LIVE should be in the top 2, dagnabbit.

I fully agree with the number 1 pick. All the amazing guests on that stage that night and the sad fate of members of the Band shortly after that concert was filmed make it absolutely epic. And Robbie Robertson (and really everyone else) look like they've blown Tony Montana amounts of yayo that night.
